5. GAS SUPPLY MAIN SIZING
The fuel supplier, or utility, should be consulted to confirm that sufficient volume and normal pressure is
provided to the building at the discharge side of the gas meter or supply pipe. For existing installations
with gas equipment, gas pressure should be measured with a manometer to ensure sufficient pressure
is available. Before sizing gas piping, a survey of all connected gas devices should be made. Gas
piping supplying more than one gas device must be able to handle the total connected input within
the allowable gas pressure drop. The allowable minimum and maximum gas pressure for each device
should be considered. Whenever the minimum and maximum gas pressures vary between devices,
gas pressure regulators at each unit should be installed to allow regulation at any individual unit. Gas
pressure must never exceed the maximum allowable rating of any connected device.
The total length of gas piping as well as fitting pressure drop must be considered when sizing the gas
piping. Total equivalent length should be calculated from the meter or source location to the last unit
connected. Gas piping Table 1, containing data extracted from NFPA 54, should be used as a
minimum guideline. Gas pipe size should be selected on the total equivalent length from the table.
The gas volume for cfh flow will be the input divided by the calorific value of the fuel to be supplied.

6. GAS HEADER SIZING
Main supply gas pipe sizing should be developed for the total plant. Boiler gas manifold piping should be
sized based on the volume requirements and lengths between boilers and the fuel main. Header sizes
can be either full size or stepped in size as units are connected. A typical gas piping header diagram for
two AERCO AM Series boilers is illustrated in Figure 2. Header should be located above or behind
boiler. Gas piping should not be installed directly over top or front of any part of boiler.
